Creme Fraiche Pizza

My sister went to France a few years ago, and after dining in Strassbourg, up near the German border, she came back with this amazing pizza topping. It was something I'd never heard of before but after we made it once, we were hooked ! Have you ever put creme fraiche on you pizza before?

Well, after buying creme fraiche once, I was glad to find out you could make it at home, because it is pretty expensive ! And this pizza is so yummy, you know....so...

1 Litre of Cream + 1 Tablespoon of buttermilk = creme fraiche,

well almost. Mix them together well in a jar. Put the lid on, and leave it on the bench for 24 hours. Then put the jar in the fridge and leave it another 12-24 hrs and it will thicken up even more. Delicious ! I love it on cake, or any dessert really, on pancakes, and yeah! on pizza !!

Here's the creme fraiche after 24hrs on the bench and another day in the fridge. Beautiful !

And here's the pizza.

To make it, spread a good layer of creme fraiche over your pizza dough. Then add a layer of very thinly sliced raw potato, and sprinkle over some diced bacon. Cook it in the usual way and serve it with some fresh ground pepper and a nice green salad.
